Fantastic! I'm so glad I finally tried this restaurant! Outstanding service and the food was top notch! The prices are fair; not any more expensive than The Keg, but much better service, better quality food and a more upscale atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Love, love love! This is a fabulous restaurant with quality steaks and seafood. Personal favourites are the NY, Branzino, Wild Boar, Bison and any app!
Thank you to the Shakespeare's team that always make our visits special!

Shakespeare's is a Hamilton institution for a reason. It never disappoints! 10/10, would recommend.

My first time at Shakespeare's and I loved it. From the little chunks of feta, to the halibut with rice pilaf, and finishing with a lovely cappucino, it was wonderful. Our server, who I ashamed I didn't ask his name took very good care of us. I will definitely visit Shakespeare's again.

We were 17 ppl last night for a 65th bday. The food was hot the drinks were great and the service was excellent. I forget his name but he had grey curly hair and my husband and him had some good jokes going back and forth. It was a fantastic night. Bravo.

Best steakhouse in Hamilton. Exceptional food, service, and ambience. This restaurant is perfectly suited for a variety of different occasions, but the charming servers will be sure to make your date blush with their Italian repartee (old gaffer almost swooped my girl). Overall, incredible value proposition, especially if you frequent higher end steakhouses in HCOL cities.

Amazing food and service. First time going there and will definitely go back soon. I had arugula salad (special that night) and ostrich. So glad I took recommendations of our server, Ben. Fantastic!

We've lived in Hamilton for a year and heard about this place the first week we lived here. I can't remember the last time I went out to a steak and seafood restaurant where they made you feel like you were the only ones in the place! The food was second to none.steak done to perfection just the way we ordered it. Leo went above and beyond and treated us like VIP. We had a fireplace next to our table) Hamiltons best kept secret! We will be back. Thank you Leo and ALL of your staff who waited on us and made us feel like a Shakesperean King and Queen!

Went here tonight for our anniversary. The atmosphere was great. The food was absolutely amazing. Garlic bread was so good and plenty of it too. Both my wife and I had a fillet, and it was absolutely perfect. Made a passing mention when we sat down that it was our anniversary, and at the end of our meal, our waiter brought us out two complementary desserts that were out of this world. Our waiter Gino, was absolutely fantastic! I highly recommend this restaurant.

We went there last Thursday before a show in town, our restaurant of choice was closed, the three of us ordered 2 French opinion soup, 3 salads, one with grilled chicken, and 1 coffee, the bill came to $150. With tip. Seriously overpriced, not great service, we waited for ever to get served, we had somewhere to go, not ever going back

My favourite Hamilton steak & seafood restaurant! Not only is this restaurant iconic and been in Hamilton for many many years, the service is TOP NOTCH! The food is incredible, the endless amount of delicious garlic bread they bring to the table is highly addictive. Espresso martinis done right everything here is delicious. Expect to spend some $$$ and treat yourself!

Excellent selection of steaks and seafood, Shakespeare never disappoints. Succulent steaks cooked to perfection and fine dining service from staff make this place a must try steakhouse. They always offer a variety of specials, and the complimentary bread and pickles at the start of your meal is always a welcome treat. Speaking of treats, ending your meal with their convenient assortment of take home candies is especially sweet.

I’ve gone here a few times over the last year for special occasions. It never disappoints. Amazing service, great cocktails, perfectly cooked salmon and potatoes. Truly one of my favourite restaurants.

Best service I have ever had our server Ben was incredible thank you so much for making our anniversary a great one.

The steak was melt in your mouth and shrimp was the size of a lobster all cooked perfect.

If you haven't please try Shakespeare! It's an experience everyone has to have and should have over and over and over agin.

My wife and I retired after working in Health Care all through Covid. We decided to have dinner at Shakespeares to reward ourselves. We were not disappointed! From the Maître d to our waiter, Gino, and the young guy bussing tables the experience was just as we remembered it over the years.
The meal was prepared expertly and was a symphony in our mouths when paired with a Shiraz from their wine list. We both had Rib Eyes, mine rare, hers medium. Both were as ordered. Our sides were excellent and dessert was phenomenal! Service was quick but not hovering, very attentive and personable! Kudos to this Hamilton icon for never wavering from the formula that has worked for them for 50+ years!
And we’ll done, weathering the Covid storm, I’m certain it was difficult with no inside dining.

Great place! We went for our anniversary and had a fantastic evening. The staff was great, the food was amazing. We even learned from our waiter that it was a family owned and run place which was really cool.

We found a new favorite steak restaurant. The appetizers were excellent but the star was our steaks. They were both cooked perfectly and the quality was far better then most specialty restaurants. Service was also very impressive. Definitely go back.

The steak and potato were absolutely delicious and the service was great. The veggies however were not good at all.

Charged me $18 for a starter soup. What the hell? Steak honestly wasn’t that good, not basted in butter. Side of rapini was swimming in water. “Pan fried potatoes” suggested by the waiter were just mush. I really wanted to like this place, but honestly, it’s just not good. Went because Martin Short suggested it in one of his interviews.
